"An updated global baseline for the Dynamic GTAP model"
by Chappuis, Thomas and Terrie Walmsley


Abstract
A carefully constructed baseline scenario is an important component of a dynamic CGE analysis. To get most directly at the effects of a policy, simulation results should be compared to a baseline scenario which provides a business-as-usual projection, and results should be analysed as deviations from this baseline. Many studies conducted at the Centre of Policy Studies, such as Adams and Parmenter (2000), have shown that a realistic and defendable baseline is important because the nature of a baseline scenario can affect the deviation results of a policy scenario. Current global economic circumstances, where the global recession has accelerated a shift in the share of global economic output accounted-for by emerging countries, reinforce the argument for updating the global baseline of the dynamic GTAP model (GDyn).
